I don't think you'd need a big intro and/or outro, the fact the reel got made should speak for itself and you could open with a simple statement: "In March 2014 Autodesk annnounced the retirement of Softimage, this is what happened since..." or words to that effect... Greetz Leendert -- Leen

I think an unofficial booth showcasing things like that of Softimage.TV would be awesome, have some monitors, a playlist, and the SI paraphernalia - show people, and then have them spurred by the slogan “All this, the tools and the talen that made this, is at the brink of extinction” and do some

Back when the wounds of the "retirement" of Softimage were still fresh, there was some talk on this list about ensuring some kind of presence for Softimage at this year's Siggraph. Is something like this "still in the works", however minimal this might be, or has this died as being too impractic
